2 Answers
The original battery model for the Kia K2 is 6QW45MF, with a rated voltage of 12V and a rated current of 45AH. The battery life of the Kia K2 is generally two to three years, and it is recommended to check the battery every two years. If not replaced in time, it may cause the car to suddenly fail to start. The Kia K2 is a compact car with body dimensions of 4400mm in length, 1740mm in width, and 1460mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2600mm. In terms of power, the Kia K2 is equipped with two engines with displacements of 1.4L and 1.6L. The 1.4L engine of the Kia K2 has a maximum power of 90kw and an increased maximum torque of 155nm.
I remember when I first drove the Kia K2, the battery had an issue, and I checked it. The original model is usually 55D23L, with dimensions of 232mm in length, 173mm in width, and 225mm in height. The cold cranking amps (CCA) range between 400 and 500. That time, it was winter, and the car wouldn't start smoothly. I opened the hood myself to check the model label and found it was 55D23L, so I bought the same one to replace it. Battery lifespan is generally three to five years. If the terminals oxidize or there's insufficient charge, you can try charging it first, but for safety, it's better to check the manual or confirm with a 4S shop to avoid choosing the wrong model. There might be minor variations depending on the car's production year, but post-2010 models mostly use this one. For simple maintenance: turn off all electrical devices when parking to avoid power leakage, which can extend the battery's life.
